hello from melbourne australia

Hi! I have just started learning flamenco guitar and am finding it to be one of the most fascinating things I've ever done. Hoping to learn more about playing as well as the care and maintenance of my guitar and eventually meeting other people for get togethers and gigs! I am also new to playing music in general :)

No - this is my first time playing a guitar. I am learning a sevillanas and a solea too! I'm really enjoying it. I was trying to convince some friends for New Year that we should have a flamenco party but so far I'm the only one keen on it - lol.

Very enthusiastic!

thanks! I already have a teacher who I'm very happy with but it is always nice to meet new people and expand horizons! I am totally dying to go to the restaurant but my boyfriend is not so keen on Spanish food or flamenco.
